Measurement of the optical spectrum with Avantes OSA before (1st picture) and after CVBG (2nd picture) with 2nd stage on the laser amplifier.
The 1st CVBG stretches the beam horizontally due to the default incident angle and the fact that different wavelength are reflected in the CVBG with different depth.
as a result, the optical spectrum is varying along the transversal axis of the beam.
The 2nd CVBG is injected with the opposiste incident angle and should compensate the stretch effect to get back a circular beam.
spatially, the beam is quite circular but one can still see a dependance between position in the beam and optical spectrum.
Then, it is difficult to show the "right" optical spectrum after CVBG (one could use a diffuser for that) but it is clear that the spectral width is quite the same (~ 2nm due to the CFBG at the input of the amplifier) before and after CVBG. |
